Well we’re ALL trying to “live in the moment”…to “lessen our screen time”…to enjoy our lives as we live them…yes? Yes. That precludes writing about these moments, but I continue to gather the images as if I WERE writing about them, and now I’m way behind. So how about trying to catch up with just […]

Spring is finally here…the tree peony is opening! Certainly the queen of this garden… Live in the moment we read everywhere…and the moments delight us, amaze us, amuse us and sadden us ..which I guess is the point? The moments ARE the life? In a strange way maybe that’s what blogging is about for me…grabbing […]

Well it’s been two months since our last “Sidney Day” and the start of full time school. We’ve only managed one visit in that time, and I have been missing the weekly view into this energetic life. But…hooray…we’re back on track for our mostly-weekly visits. We picked Sidney up at school Monday and saw his […]

After the quilters left, I headed for coffee and a moment to regroup… I was off to Camp Sherman on the Metolius River where Katy and family have a cabin. For the last few years our Salem Art Group (SAG) has gone over to Camp Sherman annually to gather, make art, talk about making art, […]

Saturday we left home early to hear George Johanson talk about his new show at Augen Gallery (in the DeSoto Building)…the paintings are lovely and lively, as is the painter. I particularly liked this self portrait…(just above George’s head in the upper left of the painting is Louis Bunce’s life mask, which hangs in George’s […]

Yep…it has been sort of winter-quiet here…head colds, PT, stuff. Not much shopping this year, but the trees are up… and today…SNOW! The elf drove me out and about… the first camellia was unceremoniously dislodged and here’s how it looked from 12:30 on: but we got home in time for a coffee and a fireside […]

We went to the studio before the holiday…(my window is the top right) …up the 17 stairs… into the studio to rehang after the nice paint job by Dayna and Tory…what a gift… …the south wall… the west wall and we did the other two, leaving the work space for a later date and we […]

We went to see Malia Jensen’s new show at Elizabeth Leach this morning (up until October 29th) with Sidney…he came with us to her show last year (“Homey” at Weiden & Kennedy) and loved the fox lamp and the seal and the giant cockroach…here’s a review of Sidney’s favorites from 2015… The show at Elizabeth […]

Today for me was a day of beginnings and endings… Kay Worthington and I spoke today at Chemeketa Community College at the third quilt show we have produced together. Last year we were invited by Tim Timmerman to show at George Fox University Gallery in the fall. This year we were invited by Laura Mack […]

Well we headed to Portland for Father’s Day festivities… Which started with looking at art, of course. I’m a fan of David Selleck who had a show at Blackfish Gallery R took a look at Steve Tilden’s small sculptures… I liked this one…(sort of like a tiny Marie Watt) The neighborhood is unrecognizable for those […]
